Sophos heeft een nieuwe versie vrijgegeven van haar Firewall met 20.0 als het versienummer. Deze software wordt geleverd op fysieke hardware, in een soft-appliance voor VMware, Hyper-V, Xen en KVM, of via de cloud marketplaces van AWS, Azure of Nutanix.
No built-in Wi-Fi capabilities
This short-depth rack appliance is designed to keep up with busy networks. Along with a feast of copper and fibre network ports, Sophos’ XG 230 Rev.2 claims a mighty 32Gbits/sec raw firewall throughput – even with all of the security services enabled, it still pumps traffic through at a speedy 4.5Gbits/sec.
There’s room to grow further too, thanks to an internal expansion bay that supports eight different Flexi modules, with options ranging from PoE provision up to 10GbE and 40GbE connections. For redundancy, the appliance can accept an optional second power supply and a pair of network bypass ports to keep the traffic flowing even if UTM functions are temporarily disabled for any reason.
